Of course you mean the 1860s, right? It was invented in 1861. Gatling's intention was to demonstrate the futility of war. Apparently, he was not able to embarrass and humiliate people the way Drlee hopes to. Once semi-automatic technology was invented, the Gatling gun was deprecated in favor of the Maxim gun. Then it was on to bigger and better things like John Browning's M2.
True. There is really no point in these debates, because criminals don't obey the law and anyone with reasonable skill can use a drill press or if they want to buy a $1500 Ghost Gunner can machine a lower. In California, after this July, you will have to register anything you machine after that. Good luck proving whether someone did it before or after the cutoff.
Godstud also missed this one: Militia (United States)

The Gatling gun didn't come around til the 1960s and it was hardly a hand-held piece of kit. It was mobile artillery and not a rapid-fire hand-held weapon. You are quite wrong in your assumption.

The American Revolution is almost dead, but ironically it is more alive in White Working Class American Patriots, then in the whole Liberal scene anywhere in the Western world.

Organized militia – consisting of State militia forces; notably, the National Guard and Naval Militia.[9] (Note: the National Guard is not to be confused with the National Guard of the United States.)
Unorganized militia – composing the Reserve Militia: every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age, not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia.[10]
